If you are looking to use a Microsoft Access DB on your server, we suggest that you do NOT use
this type of database. We offer MySQL which is over 10 times faster and works in the same way.
You can EASILY convert to MySQL by first creating the MySQL DB file on the server from within
WebsiteOS. Click on Website Management, then click on Database Manager. Follow the menus to create
your database. There are FREE tools you can download from many sites on the Internet that will convert your existing Access DB on
your computer and publish it to the MySQL Server.
The MySQL server name is sqlXX.megasqlservers.com where XX is several characters of the server that
was assigned to you. When you first click on Database Manager in the
WebsiteOS, you will see this hostname. You will create the username and password when you setup the DB in WebsiteOS. You can have
up to
two MySQL databases. One MySQL database can handle
all data for even the largest sites and most applications let you enter a prefix in front of table names.
There are 2 ways to connect to databases on our servers. You can use DSN or DSNless connections.
Its much faster to use DSNless connections as its less roundtrip time on the server to process
your requests. If you do require a DSN you would need to contact us in order to have it created.
Below is information on DSN and DSNless connections.
NOTE: the code examples may wrap from 1 line
to the next.
